[TowerTalk] Tilting over HF6V ?

[Jim Rhodes KC0XU]

Saw a write up of an RV mount for an all -band vertical that had a hinge a
ways below the antenna mount, then when he wanted to raise the antenna the
guy would insert a piece of smaller mast or pipe into the stub that the
antenna was mounted on and use it as a lever to raise the antenna. The
lower mast was then clamped in place to hold the antenna upright. (Easier
to visualize than to describe!)
Sounds like a good idea to me. Good luck.
